Lunchbox Sandwich Fun

August 22, 2013

I’d like to hear a collective “awwwwww" when I tell you that my mom never once packed a school lunch for me. Yes, I’m begging for pity because I sure never got any from my mom. Sheesh. She was perfectly fine to ante up whatever the cost of a hot lunch was every day rather than have to make me a sandwich.

In her defense, there were six of us kids, and for her to have to pack that many lunchboxes every day surely would have squashed all of her dreams permanently. But dang mom, once? Couldn’t you have done it once?

So when it came time for me to pack a lunchbox for my own kids, I packed fun, creative sandwiches to make up for all the wrongs done to me in my own childhood.
